HISTORY 0¥ THE LIBKART. 



In the month of December, 1844 (the Grand Lodge having been 
organized January the 8th, preceding), the Grand Master, Oliver 
Cock, addressed a letter to the Grand Secretary inviting him "to 
suggest such topics as he desiri d to be incorporated in his Annual 
Address for the Grand Lodge at its next [second] meeting in Jan- 
uary [1845], &c." From the Grand Secretary's reply we make the 
following extract : — 

" * * * ]y[y gj.g^ suggestion is relative to the importance of 
founding a Grand Lodge Library. When I became a Mason (in 
1838), I immediately inquired for Masonic Books, in the hope of 
improving myself in Masonry ; and was greatly disappointed in 
being able to find among a large circle of old influential members 
[in Cincinnati] only a copy of ' Cross's Chart,' and some five vol- 
umes of the 'Masonic Mirror' (Boston), 1836-31, all of which I de- 
voured, and learned for the first time of that mysterious person 
'Morgan.' Since we have organized a Grand Lodge, and it has 
pleased the brethren to call me to a post of usefulness and responsi- 
bility, I feel that want to a still greater extent, and I am sure that 
the young and inquiring brethren of this jurisdiction must experi- 
ence the same difficulty. I have recently become possessed of a 
copy of that which I had long regarded as a fabulous work ; viz : 
Dr. Anderson's Constitutions ; also, of the first two volumes of the 
Freemasons' Magazine (Boston, 1842-43). These I will use as the 
nucleus of a Library, from which small beginning may yet spring a 
Library of larger dimensions and greater value, should the Grand 
Lodge concur in our suggestions and foster the undertaking. 

" I therefore suggest, that, * * *" 

Grand Master Cock thus referred to the subject in his Address of 
January, 1845 : — 

"It has been suggested to me that, 'if a certain amount of the 
funds of the Grand Lodge should be set apart each year, for the 
purpose of securing Books for the Grand Lodge, a very respectable 
Masonic Library might thus be collected without the amount ex- 
pended being felt by the Grand Lodge.' This seems to me a subject 
worthy of your consideration." 



6 History of the Lihrary. 

The Committee to whom the subject was referred reported as fol- 
lows (which was adopted) : — 

" We feel the subject to be one of very great importance to the 
interests of Masonry, more so, perhaps, to us in the far west, where 
the means for obtaining masonic information are much more limited 
than in older settled countries. We also believe that the only true 
method for disseminating masonic light and knowledge, and of hav- 
ing the principles of our Order properly appreciated and praticed, is 
to create an interest in the study of the same as laid down in the 
Constitutions, and works of Masonry. 

" Your Committee do not believe, however, that the state of the 
finances of this Grand Lodge (whose income is only $250.00 for two 
years) will admit of making an appropriation sufiicient to procure 
an extensive collection of masonic information, still, we believe 
something should be done — a commencement should be made, and 
additions made from time to time as the Grand Lodge may be able, 
so that in time we may have a collection of masonic works that will 
be an honor to us. In furtherance of this object, we recommend the 
adoption of the following resolution ; viz : — 

"Resolved, That an appropriation of five dollars be made, to be ex- 
pended under the direction of the Grand Secretary, for procuring 
such masonic works as he may see proper. 

" Eespectfully submitted by the Committee, 

"B. S. Olds, 
" Wm. Abbe, 
"J. F. Kinney." 

We insert the names, that all may share in the rewards as well as 
the work, remarking that every committee, with a single exception, 
at every session of the Grand Lodge, has fully endorsed the subject 
and approved the plans of the Grand Secretary, who has had charge 
of their execution. 

During many years, the appropriation was small, and being in the 
" far west," we did not have access to the marts when and where 
such books could be procured. Masonic books are not often to be 
found on sale at the bookstores, and rare and valuable works are 
picked up with avidity by collectors on the spot, so that the task of 
collecting has been one of great difficulty, independent of their great 
cost.. During the past year we have known a brother to pay $50 for 
a copy of Franklin's edition of the Constitutions, 1730, and $100 for 
Pike's work of 1859 on the A. and A. Rite. Our first efibrt was to 
secure the Proceedings of our sister Grand Lodges and bind them ; 
also, the Masonic Periodicals of that day. Owing to our "youth and 
inexperience," we did not go back of that year, as we should have 
done, and when we sought to it was too late; hence, this part of the 
Library is not as full and complete as we could desire. It is only 
within a few years past that the Grand Lodge has exchanged its 
Proceeedings with the various Masonic Grand Bodies of the higher 



History of the Library. 7 

degrees. The Library having received from the Grand Secretary 
the collection of their Proceedings he had individually made, has 
kept up, by the system of exchange then adopted, that collection, 
including Proceedings of Grand Chapters, Councils, Commanderies, 
&c., which to-day is one of the most interesting and valuable por- 
tions of the Series, being especially full in Templar Proceedings be- 
yond that of any similar body in the land. 

It has been the constant endeavor of the Librarian to procure all 
the Proceedings, Periodicals, and Works bearing upon Masonic 
subjects (either by exchange or purchase) he could to the extent of 
the means at his disposal. And it is to be hoped that Grand Officers 
and Brethren receiving this Catalogue will supply, as far as possible, 
any deficiencies in this Series. 

In the compilation of this Catalogue we have devoted much time 
and labor, and met with no little difficulty in arranging the General 
Works under Title V. properly, according to subjects. It will, how- 
ever, compare favorably with such catalogues as we have, being 
those of Cahfornia 1869, 1872, our own of 1849, '54, and '58, and of 
Missouri of 1872. 

We published in 1849 a small Catalogue of four pages (at the end 
of the fifth year of the Grand Lodge) ; and again at the tenth year, 
1854, and the fifteenth, 1858, of nine, and twenty-two pages. A de- 
cade and a half having passed, while the number of works and vol- 
umes have greatly increased, and the Grand Lodge being about to 
issue its fifth volume of Proceedings, 1869-73, at the close of its 
thirtieth year we have prepared the fourth Catalogue of the Grand 
Lodge Library to accompany it, as a suitable memorial of the pro- 
gress made during these years to find the light in Masonry we had 
sought. 

Of the Brothers whose names appear in this sketch. Past Grand 
Master Cock, Past Grand Treasurer Olds, and Past Master Abbe 
have passed away from their earthly labors. Past Junior Grand 
Warden (1846) John F. Kinney, after serving as Justice of the Su- 
preme Court of Iowa, was appointed Judge of one of the territorial 
courts, and removed from our jurisdiction. These Brothers, as well 
as all their successors, as Grand Masters and committee-men, have 
ever given this subject their earnest support. Grand Master Waters, 
though last on the list, is equal to the first of its friends in his devo- 
tion to its interests.

* Lost. The proceedings of the several Grand Lodges 
of this year were delivered to the Committee on Foreign 
Correspondence, and by the committee left at the hotel 
in Dubuque for the Grand Secretary, but when he called 
for them the landlord denied any knowledge of them. 

No proceedings from the seceding states for 1861-64 re- 
ceived. Those of these years received since are bound in 
second series. 

(1) Grand Lodges — Series IL, 100 volumes. 

In this series the proceedings of the several states are 
bound by themselves, perfect, from the discontinuance of 
the first series, in 1870, and going back as far as we could 
collect them. All of this series prior to 1871, and all 
that follows (except the reprints) of Title IL, were 
donated to the library by T. S. Parvin, the binding only 
being paid for by the Grand Lodge. The Reprints were 
donate'', by the Grand Lodges printing them, and are 
catalogued by themselves at the end of this series.

A large number of Grand Councils and a few of the other bodies 
have not supplied us with their Proceedings. It is to be hoped they 
will see this want and supply them. For years past we have regu- 
larly sent our Proceedings to all the Grand Chapters, Councils, and 
Commanderies, in addition to the Grand Lodges, and we have rea- 
son, therefore, to hope for a like courteous treatment. — Libeakian.

Library of the Grand Lodge of Iowa. 113 

Volume I. 

1. A Dictionary of Symbolical Masonry.— By Kev. Georg6 

Oliver, D. D. 
This work was first published by Spencer, of London, in 
1853. "While freely borrowing from Gadicke's "Freimaurer 
Lexicon," and Mackey's " Lexicon of Freemasonry," the learned 
compiler has added from his pen, and from other sources, much 
valuable and interesting information. As a Dictionary of En- 
glish Masonry, it will prove eminently serviceable to the Ma- 
sonic student. 

2. The Book of the Lodge.— By Rev. George Oliver, D. D. 

First published at London, in 1849. It was intended to sup- 
ply the English fraternity with a sort of manual or monitor, but 
has been composed on so philosopical a plan as to render it val- 
uable to every Mason. Any one of the chapters of this interest- 
ing work would furnish an admirable lecture, to be read by a 
Master to his Lodge, or to be studied by the members. 

Volume II. 

3. The Symbol of Glory.— By Eev. George Oliver, D, D. 

This work, written when the learned author was approach- 
ing his seventieth year — the critical three score and ten of 
Scripture — is a pregnant evidence that increasing years have 
not weakened the strength of his intellect, nor abated the 
warmth of his imagination. It consists of thirteen lectures, in 
the course of which the most important doctrines of masonic 
science and philosophy are discussed with profound research, 
but in a pleasing and familiar style. Among the topics eluci- 
dated in the course of the lectures are the Circle and Parallel 
Lines the Three Great Lights, the Theological Ladder, the 
Cloudy Canopy, and the Blazing Star. From the perusal of this 
book, which ought to be one of the most popular of Oliver's 
productions, no man can arise without being a wiser and a better 
man. 

4. The Spirit of Masonry. — By Wm. Hutchinson, with notes 

by Rev. George Oliver, D. D. 

This is one of the earliest and one of the best of the English 
works on the philosophy of Masonry. The author, who lived 
till 1814 to see the vast advancement of the order in its specula- 
tive character, since the year 1775, when the first edition of his 
work was published, was distinguished for "his extensive lite- 
rary acquirements, his cultivated mind, and suavity of man- 
ners." No masonic scholar can deem his cycle of studies com- 
plete without a careful perusal of Hutchinson. It is, indeed, 
one of the first works that he should read. The notes of Oliver, 
of course, give additionaLvalue to the volume.

Volume III. 

5. Illustrations of Masonry.— By Wm. Preston, with notes by 

Dr. Oliver. 

Preston's work has, ever since its first appearance (1770), been 
a vade mecum with the Fraternity. It contains, undoubtedly, the 
best digested history of Masonry, from the origin of the order 
in England to the year 1820, that has ever been written, and 
supplies many lacunse in the rather indigested books of Constitu- 
tion which have, from time to time, been published. In an 
eventful portion of this history Preston himself took an active 
part, and his account of the events which there occurred, com- 
prising the contests between the Lodge of Antiquity and the 
Grand Lodge df England, have all the interest and fidelity that 
arise from the account of an eye-witness and actor. The History 
has been continued to 1840 by the able and correct pen of Dr. 
Oliver. No masonic library can be perfect, and no course of 
masonic study can be complete, without the assistance of this 
indispensable work. 

Volume IV. 

6. The Antiquity of Freemasonry. — By Rev. George Oliver, 

D. D. 

The object which the venerable author sought to attain in 
the composition of this work, was to place Masonry on tenable 
ground as a science, and to lend his aid in wiping ofi" the oppro- 
brium too frequently attached to its practice by those who join, 
inconsiderately in the cry against the institution, without re- 
flecting on its claims to respect, if not vene];jttion. The task he 
has nobly, and we believe, successfully, accomplished ; and had 
he written no other line, this delightful book would have se- 
cured to Oliver an enviable reputation as one of the benefactors 
and teachers of the order. It is, indeed, a complete system of 
religious philosophy of Masonry. 

7. Discourses. — By Thaddeus Mason Harris, Past Grand Chaplain 

of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. 
These discourses, which were delivered from the pulpit at 
various times during the close of the last century, constitute an 
admirable compend of masonic duties and obligations, which 
cannot be read without improvement and pleasure. The "Dis- 
sertation on the Tessera Hospitalis of the Ancient Romans," 
which is added by way of appendix, and is from the same eru- 
dite author, will be acceptable as it is useful and interesting to 
all Mark Masters. Harris has the honor of being the first phi- 
losophical writer on Masonry in America.

Volume V. 

8. The History of Freemasonry.— By Rev. George Oliver 

D. D. 6 , 

This work is essentially necessary to complete up to the 
date of its publication the historical series commenced by Pres- 
ton, and which, in the Oliver's edition of that author was car- 
ried only to the year 1828. The acknowledged skill and re- 
search of Oliver are a guarantee of the fidelity with which the 
task has been accomplished. 

9. A Mirror for the Johannite Masons.— By Rev Georse 

OHver, D. D. 
The whole history of the connection of the institution of 
Freemasonry with the two St. Johns is here treated with equal 
research and interest. A rich mine of traditionary and histor- 
ical information is laid open to the readers of this brief but de- 
lightful brochure. 

10. The Star in the East.— By Rev. George Oliver, D. D. 

This was one of the earliest of Oliver's works. It is an at- 
tempt, and a successful one, to exhibit the connection which ex- 
ists between Freemasoniy and Religion. It is in itself an unan- 
swerable argument against all the denunciations of anti-masonic 
writers who have vainly sought to cast the opprobrium of an 
anti-religious character upon our institution. Although princi- 
pally didactic in its composition, it abounds in much of that 
antiquarian tone with which Oliver is wont to enrich his ma- 
sonic writings. 

Volume VI. 

11. A Candid Disquisition.— By Wellins Calcott, P. M. 

Calcott's works have always occupied a high position in the 
libraries of the masonic students. The first edition was printed 
at London, in 1799, and it was among the earliest books in Eng- 
land to invite the attention of the Craft to the philosophical 
character of the institution. Calcott was a man of much literary 
attainment, and the mode in which he has here illustrated the 
scientific principles of Masonry does not derogate from the repu- 
tation he had acquired in his own time as a ripe scholar and 
accomplished writer. As a matter of antiquarian research, the 
reader of the "Disquisition," in addition to the views presented 
on the origin, nature, and design of the institution, will be grati- 
fied by a perusal of the many charges and addresses contained 
in the appendix, in which he will find the originals of many of 
the most admired portions of the present system of monitorial 
instruction.

12. The Masonic Manual.— By Rev. Jonathan Ashe, D. D. , M. M. ; 

with annotations and remarks, by Rev. George Oliver, D. D. 
Although there is but little originality in this work, which 
was first published in 1813, yet, as a summary or compilation of 
the views and opinions of precedent writers, such as Preston, 
Smith, Calcott, and more especially, Hutchinson, from whom he 
has already borrowed, it will be found highly valuable as an 
arrangement, in a regularly graduated series of instructions on 
the principles and duties of the institution. It consists of thirty 
chapters, under the title of arguments, any one of which would 
constitute a most valuable lecture, to be read by the Master at 
the communication of the Lodge. After hearing it, each brother 
would depart a wiser and a better Mason — more thoroughly 
acquainted with the character of the Society of which he is a 
member, and better prepared to discharge the duties it has im- 
posed upon him. 

Volume VII. 

13. The Revelations of a Square ; exhibiting a graphic display 

of the sayings and doings of eminent Free and Accepted Masons^ 
from the revival in 1717, by Dr. Desaguliers, to the re-union in 
1813, by their R. H., the Dukes of Kent and Sussex. — By Rev. 
George Oliver, D. D. 
This is the latest production of the pen of the patriarch of 
Masonry, but the voice of the Fraternity has already bestowed 
upon it the meed of universal praise. It may, indeed, be called, 
emphatically, a romance of Masonry. Although a work of 
fiction, that is, a work written by the appliances of fictitious 
machinery, it embodies a vast amount of historical research, 
which has made known to the Craft a quantity of facts con- 
nected with the proceedings of Masonry in England subsequent 
to its revival, which have heretofore been, and must, without 
the assistance of Dr. Oliver, have always been, inaccessible to 
the world. There is no work that has ever issued from the 
masonic press that will be read with more pleasure, and few 
with more instruction, than the " Revelations." 

14. An Introduction to Freemasonry ; being a general outline 

of that ancient and venerable institution, pointing out the dignity 

of its design, and the means for attaining it, its arcana excepted. — 

By a Brother. 

This is an anonymous production, first published, probably, 

about the end of the last century, in England, but no research 

has enabled us to penetrate the veil with which the author's 

modesty has enshrouded him ; and his name still remaining 

unknown, his work is to be judged — as indeed, all works should 



Library of the Grand Lodge of Iowa. 117 

be — by the standard of its own merits, and so judged, the 
verdict is favorable ; for, in a pleasing style, and with admirable 
powers of reasoning, it presents an excellent exposition of the 
true character and design of Freemasonry. Our sympathies, too, 
may be excited, and our appreciation of its value be augmented, 
when we learn that this little Manual was composed under the 
pressure of pecuniary embarrassments, and the disadvantages 
of old age and infirm health. Its perusal will amply repay the 
student for the time occupied, and will be eminently suggestive 
to every thinking mind. 

Volume VIII. 

15. The History of Initiation.— By Rev. George Oliver, D. D. 

To the Mason who supposes that all that is necessary to be 
known of the institution is to be found in monitors and hiero- 
glyphic charts, this work will, of course, appear out of place in 
a masonic library. But as — thanks to the diffusion of masonic 
learning — the number of such narrow-minded brethren is rap- 
idly diminishing, the appropriateness of the selection of the 
editor of the library will now scarcely be doubted. In truth, 
Oliver's Lectures on Initiation should be carefully studied — not 
simply read — by every one, as a preliminary labor to the in- 
vestigation of the nature and the end of the masonic institution 
itself. The immense information on the subject of the Pagan 
Rites, contained in the massive and expressive works of Faber, 
Bryant, Selden, etc., are here condensed, and the connection of 
the whole subject clearly exhibited in its relation to the ritual 
of Masonry. The work is, in fact, absolutely indispensible in a 
course of masonic study. Without its careful perusal no Mason 
can pretend to have anything more than a superficial knowledge 
of the nature of this institution. 

16. The History and Illustration of Freemasonry.— Com - 

piled from an ancient publication. Same as No. 
This small volume of some eighty pages, forms a very ap- 
propriate appendix to the preceding work, which it accompa- 
nies. It is a learned history of the institution, and of its con- 
nection with the mysteries of antiquity. It is, in fact, perhaps 
the best philosophical history of Freemasonry, of its size, that 
has ever been written. After reading the larger work of Oliver 
on Initiation, the student will find in this brief essay an excel- 
lent review and recapitulation of what he has just gone over, 
with the addition of many new and important facts.

Accepted Masons (1853). — By Wm. White as Grand Sec- 
retary.

18. The Constitution of Freemasonry (1813); or, AUman 

Beson : to which are added certain Lectures, Charges, and a, Masonic 
Ritual. — Published by the Grand Lodge of Ireland. 

19. The Constitutions of the Grand Lodge of Scotland 

(1848). 
The titles of these works, which, together, comprise the 
ninth volume of the library, suflficiently explain themselves. 
They are published from the latest official editions, and as the 
Constitutions of the three oldest Grand Lodges in the world, 
are indispensible to the student of masonic jurisprudence. They 
contain, beside, much ritual and historical matter of great inter- 
est and importance. 

Volume X. 

20. The Theocratic Philosophy of Freemasonry; in twelve 

Lectures, on its Speculative, Operative, and Spurious branches. — By 

Rev. George Oliver, D. D. 
This is one of the most erudite of Oliver's works. In it the 
author has especially devoted himself to the consideration of 
the religious sentiment that is infused into Masonry. Com- 
mencing with a view of the institution under every form in 
which it has been presented, from the earliest periods of history, 
he proceeds to trace its progress in the ancient world until it 
assumed its present organization, and concludes with a rational 
examination of its speculative ceremonies and observances. 
From the former part of the work every scholar must derive 
gratification, while the latter will furnish much useful informa- 
tion to the practical Mason. 

21. Signs and Symbols. — By Rev. George Oliver, D. T>. 

The most important symbols of the order are here illus- 
trated and explained in a course of admirable lectures — the ten 
most significant, namely : the All-Seeing Eye, the Serpent, the 
Cherubim, the Deluge, the Mysterious Darkness of the Third 
Degree, the Three Pillars, the Ladder, the Point within a Circle, 
and the Apron — constitute the subject, each of a particular lec- 
ture ; while all the other symbols and emblems of Masonry are 
incidentally explained. The work is, indeed, a treatise on the 
alphabet of Masonry. 

Volume XL 

22. The Historical Landmarks.— By Rev. George Oliver, D. t). 

Vol. I. 



Library of the Grand Lodge of Iowa. 119 

Volume XII. 
22 (a). The same work continued. Vol. II. 

This is, without doubt, the opus magnum of Dr. Oliver. Upon 
it he has expended all his various and curious learning ; and 
the notes alone constitute, with the ample indexes of the sub- 
jects which the volume contains, a most valuable Encyclopedia 
of Freemasonry. There is, indeed, scarcely any topic connected 
with the history, philosophy, science, or even ritual of Freema- 
sonry, which may not be found discussed in the erudite pages 
of the " Landmark." But to eulogize this work, which has so 
thoroughly passed the ordeal of criticism, is "to paint the lily, 
or to gild refined gold." 

Volume XIII. 

23. Stray Leaves.— By a Sufiblk Rector. 

This is one of those books which the student may take up 
in his hours of recreation with a certainty that even his mo- 
ments of idleness will not be altogether without advantage to 
himself It consists of well written sketches, in which the sub- 
jects all have some relation to Masonry, and are intended to 
develop some important masonic principles. This pleasing 
production will form an entertaining relief to the more elabor- 
ate works in the library series which precede and follow it. 

24. Apology for the Order of Freemasons.— By M. N., a 

member of the Order. Translated for the Universal Masonic 
Library from the original French. By Henry W. Thorpe, A. M. 
This work was originally published at the Hague and Dres- 
den, in 1745, and is so recorded as No. 32 in Thory's Biblio- 
graphical Catalogue. The translation appears to have been 
made from an edition of 1765, and therefore, probably an im- 
proved one. The task of the translator has been executed with 
great skill and fidelity. The Essay itself ig an able, though dis- 
passionate, answer to the charges, which, even at that early 
period, had been preferred against the order. 

35. Schism Amongst the Masons in England.— By Rev. 
George Oliver, D. D. 
This is almost the only history that we have — certainly the 
only reliable one — of the origin of the Royal Arch Degree as 
practiced in the York Rite. Coming from the pen of the learned 
Oliver, it is entitled to increased consideration, and is, conse- 
quently, a work indispensable in a masonic library. 

26. Insignia of the Royal Arch.— By Rev. George Oliver, D. D. 
This is a continuation of the subject treated in the preceding 
pamphlet, and as a sort of appendix to it, is essentially neces- 
sary to a thorough understanding of Dr. Oliver's arguments.

27. The Secret Discipline. — By Theodore Temple, 

Theodore Temple is but a nom de plume. The work was 
published in 1833, by Samuel L. Knapp, the author of an excel- 
lent little volume, entitled "The Genius of Masonry." He 
ascribes it to the pen of one " who is a scholar and a Christian, 
and who has done much for religion and letters," but whose 
great age rendering him averse to controversy, had prevented 
him from affixing his real name to the work. It certainly bears 
the internal evidence of great learning. Knapp gives this brief 
synopsis of the book : " in it the secret discipline of the church 
is proved from the same authority by which the gospels are 
established, and for aught we see, as clearly ; and this secret 
discipline was, and is. Masonry." 

Volume XIV. 

28. Lghts and Shadows of Freemasonry.— By Rob. Morris, 

Knight Templar. 

Volume XV. 

29. Constitution of the Freemasons (1723). — Anderson. 

This is a republication of the celebrated edition of 1723, of 
Anderson's Constitutions. Previous to its insertion in the 
library series, there were of the original work not more than 
half a dozen copies in the United States. It was what book- 
sellers call, "out of print," and a copy brought the most extrava- 
gant price. It is now rendered accessible to every Mason. Con- 
taining, as it does, the fundamental law of Masonry, it is deemed 
of high anthorily as a book of reference in all questions of ma- 
sonic jurisprudence, and its value cannot, therefore, be too 
highly esteemed. Two analytical indexes, prepared by Brother 
Mackey, especially for the library edition, are intended to facili- 
tate its use as a book of reference. 

30. History of Freemasonry.— By A. Lawrie. 

This work was written and published in 1804, by Alexander 
Lawrie, a bookseller of Edinburgh, and a man of great literary 
attainments. It was translated into German in 1810, by Dr. 
Krause, and has received the marked approbation of continental 
critics. The " Jahrbuchen der Literatur," published at Heidel- 
burg, in 1810, gave a long and favorable review of it, prefacing 
its article with the remarks, that it is "a book, which, on ac- 
count of its historical contents, well merits the attention both 
of those who are initiated and those who are not." Similarly 
favorable views of it have been always entertained by English 
and American Masons, all of whom justly regard it as one of the 
best histories of the origin of Masonry that is extant.

31. Sermons. — By Rev. Jethro Inwood. 



Library of the Grand Lodge of Iowa. 121 

32. Three Sermons. — By Rev. Wm. John Percey, M. A. 

A volume of masonic sermons was necessary to give com- 
pleteness to a masonic library, and the editor could not have 
selected any more appropriate than those of Inwood, which, 
although having been more than sixty years before the Frater- 
nity, have not yet been surpassed for fervor of piety, for beauty 
of language, or for the truly masonic spirit which is conspicuous 
in every discourse. The sermons of Mr. Percey, forming a part 
of our cotemporary literature, constitute an admirable accompa- 
niment to those older ones, both by their style and execution. 
The Christian and the Mason will be equally edified with these 
specimens of pulpit eloquence.

33. Principles of Masonic Law.— By Albert G. Mackey, M. D. 

As we are not expected to say anything of this book our- 
selves, we are willing to leave the review of it to Judge Lewis, 
the distinguished Grand Master of New York, who has thus 
flatteringly expressed his opinion in a letter to the publishers : 
"It is one of the most valuable books that has been given to the 
Fraternity for many years, and supplies a fault long felt and de- 
plored by intelligent Masters of Lodges, and will relieve Grand 
Officers from a vast amount of labor in replying to questions of 
masonic law and practice. The orderly arrangement of the 
work, the clear, lucid, elementary style in which it is written, 
and the sound and satisfactory reasons given for the conclusions 
at which he arrives upon mooted points, will make it a standard 
work." 

Volume XVIIL 

34. History of Masonic Persecutions. —By Rev. George Oliver, 

D. D. 

This work, compiled by Dr. Oliver, with great care, may be 
supposed to hold, as it were, to a masonic library the same rela- 
tion that the "Book of Martyrs" does to a theological. It pre- 
sents us with the dark scenes in the history of our institution, 
and is of indispensable utility in the historical study of Masonry. 
The editor's notes are not the least valuable part of the work. 

35. Masonic Institutions,— By various authors. Notes by Rev. 

George Oliver, D. J). 
This is a collection of valuable gems, which, unless they had 
been thus preserved by the indefatigable editor, must have been 
inaccessible to the generality of the Fraternity. Among them 
we find interesting and instructive lectures from men whose 
names have long been consecrated for their services in. the

memories of the Craft — such as Anderson, Martin Clare, Dunck- 
erly, and others. These writings are all venerable remains, for 
the restoration of which the masonic public owes a debt of 
gratitude to Dr. Oliver. 

Volume XIX. 

36. History of the Knights Hospitalers of St. John, of 

Jerusalem ; styled afterwards the Knights of Rhodes, and at 
present the Knights of Malta. Translated from the French of

36 (c). The same work continued. Vol. IV. 

The history of the Knights of Malta is so intimately con- 
nected with that of the Knights Templar, that to the Mason 
who has received this exalted degree, the work of Vertot cannot 
fail to be highly interesting. Even to the Master Mason, a rec- 
ord of the adventures of those gallant Knights, in times where 
many are disposed (we do not say correctly) to place the origin 
of our Order, must be acceptable, and its reading not altogether 
destitute of advantage. 

37. Statutes ; for the government of the Royal, Exalted, Religious, and 

Military Order of Masonic Knights Templars in England and 
Wales, as resolved and agreed on at the Grand Conclave, held on the 
ISth day of May, 1853. 
To the Knight Templar who desires to know something of 
the condition of his Order elsewhere, as well as at home, this 
little brochure will be received with pleasure. The English edi- 
tion can be obtained only with the greatest difficulty, since, as 
an official document, it is not on sale.

38. Use and Abuse of Freemasonry. — By Capt. George Smith. 

The first edition of this work was published in 1783. At 
the time, it was the only good record of the state of Masonry on 
the continent of Europe, and even now, notwithstanding the 
increased number of Masonic writers, we must still go to Smith 
if we desire to know anything of the real condition of the insti-

tution at the end of the last century in Germany, Eussia, Spain, 
Sweden, and other continental states. With Preston for Eng- 
land, Lawrie for Scotland, and Smith for the rest of Europe, the 
reader is furnished so far as they go, with all the means neces- 
sary for becoming an adept in masonic history ; and, without 
Smith, this course of study would not be complete. 

39. Life in the Triangle. — By Rob. Morris, Knight Templar. 

40. Historical Sketch of the Order of Knights Templar. — 

An address delivered before South Carolina Encampment, No. 

1, at Charleston, S. C, March 23, 1855. By T. S. Gourdin. 
This is a brief but very excellent and correct condensation 
of the history of the Order, so far as the author's materials could 
enable him to execute the task. The full and complete history 
of Templarism is yet to be written ; our own country cannot 
furnish the necessary documents. But, until the narrative is 
composed by some one who has access to the libraries of Europe, 
this brochure will be found highly useful to all who desire to 
obtain any knowledge of the Order of the Temple. The author's 
constant reference to authorities for the facts that he details, is 
a custom which it would be well that masonic writers should 
hereafter adopt more generally than they have hitherto.
